?The fundamental idea of the exhibition is to explore a familiar, almost everyday architectural phenomenon, the characteristic Hungarian “cube house” (a house with a hip roof, the so-called Kádár cube) as an expression of architectural modernization.?️The family house of the 1960s and 70s still defines the appearance of Hungarian rural settlements to this day. This much-maligned stepchild of post-war Hungarian socialist architecture turned out to be one of the most enduring architectural forms of the last century. The cube house is the twin sibling of the prefab panel blocks, and the two distinctive characters in socialist housing construction are inconceivable without each other. Regardless of our relationship with the cube house, it is part of our built cultural heritage.
